Think the Giottos Rocket Blower Looks Like a Bomb? The TSA Does ...

Michael Zhang · Mar 09, 2012 The Giottos Rocket is a popular tool used by photographers to remove dust from cameras and glass, but if you're in love with yours, you might want to think twice about flying with it. Reddit user gynoceros found out the hard way that some TSA airport screeners aren't too enthusiastic about the Rocket's shape. He writes, FYI — If you attempt to fly with a Giottos Rocket Blower (you know, rubber bulb you squeeze to force air down a nozzle to blow dust off your sensor — no metal, no moving parts), the TSA may confiscate it because it "looks like a bomb", no questions asked. Just f**king happened to me in Newark. I knew I'd get robbed in Newark one day. To be fair, it does have an uncanny resemblance to "Fat Man"… Image credit: Rocket Power by Adam Mulligan
